oyceterWhy I love manga, #1:
[edited to correct my bad spelling and other grammar stuff)
Mely: DINOSAURS!
Oyce: I know! I want more dinosaurs! Why is there not a giant subgenre of dinosaur manga?
M: I was so disappointed when they turned out to be metaphorical dinosaurs. I thought the series was going to be about human reincarnations of dinosaur scientists who set up a moonbase.
O: OMG! It so should have been!
M: Well, there is the mpreg human-looking dinosaurs live among us series, but I never got past v1.
O: O_o
O: Wow.
O: And I thought Sex Pistols was the only mpreg human-looking animals living among us series out there.
M: In retrospect, that was somewhat naive of you.
O: Truly, it was.
Why I love manga, #2:
Several of us thinking Nobuta wo Produce was a shounen-sports-take manga on a boy working with all his might to restore a grocery store, when in actuality it is a shoujo-Pygmalionmanga drama.
Suddenly, the "wo Produce" part of the title makes that much more sense ("wo" signifies an object, so it is "Producing Nobuta" sort of a la producing a movie).
Still, I am sad there are no random cabbages or other vegetables of DOOM.
Why I love manga, #3:
RAISED BY PIGEONS!
(Yes! The pigeons still amuse me!)
Your turn! Tell me what has entertained you today!

Oh wait, this is a movie already.
